| ters act entirely independent of the sanitary
officers how can either do their duty and can the
| money so expended result in the greatest possi-
| Bile good.
The law of 1886, making it obligatory upon the
County Commissioners throughout the State to
organize themselves as Local Boards OF Health
and to appoint an intelligent physician to act as
sanitary officer for the several counties has been
entirely ignored by the Commissioners for Balti-
more county. Itisa fact well known to the State
Board of Health that ten demands are made upon
it by citizens residing in the Belt, to abate nuis-
ances, to one demand from the balance OF the
State. 1t is from this section OF the county that
the county sanitary officer should come, and he
should be paid salary sufficiently large to make
it an object for him to attend to his duties.
The garbage force of this section could be safe
ly placed under his control and supervision, and
supported as he would be, by the recently en-
larged powers of the State Board of Health,
much needed reform in sanitation would, in con-
sequence be inaugurated. This ofhcer would
have work enough to do, as the present deplora-
BILE condition of affairs in the Belt amply proves.
In conclusion let those who would cavil at the
public agitation of these matters, ponder well
over the following testimony of one, among the
many, of the triumphs Of sanitary science. Sir
address as President of the Ninth Congress OF the
Sanitary Institute of Great Britain, September
23, 1885, stated this: 1--WE cannot be far wrong
if we put the average duration Of human life in
Great Britain half century ago at about thirty
years now, according to the healthy llfe-table,
fifty years increased by some eight Millions
Each individual of these millions was worth to
the state, as is calculated, about one hundred
and fifty pounds. Say that only two millions out
of the eight millions of increased numbers were
the fruit of sanitary and medical work, their
economical value was at least three hundred
millions of pounds and that clear gain. To
this we must add that the productive powers Of
the population depend upon labor, and that labor
depends upon health. Let sickness come, men
are disabled, their labor ceases, and the produce
of labor is lost. Formerly it was calculated that
twenty-third part of the population was con-
stantly sick, and the products of all that labor
for time necessarily withdrawn. great deal
OF this sickness has been altogether prevented,
and the duration of that which comes in spite Of
sanitation is lessened.'

Some Big Schemes in Oats.
Lancaster { Pa.) Ne'o Era.


Notice was made in the local columns OF this
journal recently of meeting of the "Pennsylva-
MIA bohemian Oat Association" held in New Hol-
land As very little is known by the puohc OF
this concern, and it's methods have been Sc
verely commented upon in this and other States,
we have secured copy of the bylaws governing
It, which show that the members believe in taxing
care of their interests if in nothing else. one
section provides that not less than ten and not
more than fifty bushels shall be sold to any one
man. and not more than ten men in any township
shall be allowed the privilege of purchasing TINS
precious oats. When we say the price is ten DOL
lars per bushe, the above restriction would seem
useless. as Lancaster county farmers will hardly
he found breaking their necks in mad scramble
after oats at ten dollars bushel-hve hundred
| dollars for fifty bushels. The Association, how
ever. agrees to buy from each purchaser double
the amount of his purchase, and also sell what
| other oats the purchaser may have, charging hlm
25 ner cent commission. The purchasers are,
however kindly granted permission to sell their
own product, if they can, without the payment OF
| q commission We know nothing concerning the
| merits of Bohemian oats. The whole business
has the aspect of a speculation in which the AS
sociation is to come out ahead. Few Lancaster
county farmers, we imagine, will see their way
clear to 80 into it, and those who do will want to
see whether this oats does weigh 90 pounds to the
bushel as is claimed for it.
The Hanover (Pa.) Spectator also has some
thing to say on the oats subject. Here 1t is !:
"There seems to be tendency on the part OF some
people about here to rail at the Huhess oats
swindlers. This is wrong. Of course they are a
disreputable and dishonest set of fellows, but II
thew can succeed, as they have been doing, in
gulling the farmers when the latter have been
time after time told about them, it is the farmers
who should be rallied at. 1t seems incredible that
our country people can be such fools and be duped
SO easily But apparently there are plenty Of
fools yet in the adjoining rural districts Ihes'
sharpers left here rich and well pleased with the
! thrifty and easy manner in which they gulled
: some of the smart farmers"

TOJACKsON PIPER, M. D., PRESIDENT STATE
board OF HEALTH-Dedr ST: The four vials OF
pump water from Towsontown, which you re-
ceved through DR.. Chancellor, Secretary OF State
Roard of Health, and which accomp panied the re-
port made to him, show to the eye the nitroge-
nous impurities in the samples. About one
eighth of O fluid ounce of solution prepared by
myself has been added to four ounces of the wa
ter in each VIAL for the purpose of preciptating
the ammonacal matter in each sample, and the
resulting deposit shows the measure OF nltroge-
nous impurities present. When nitrogenOus
matter decomposes ammonia is one of the results
of the decomposition, and this being precipita
ted is an index to the eye % OF what tne ngures of
have not been concentrated or in any way ma
nipulated except by the addition of the teaspoon
of the reagent that was used. Each one OF the
four samples reported on Nov. I'd, 1886, is un-
oualifiedly bad water for drinking purposes
The worst sample of Baltimore city water mot
grains of chlorine per gallon. These samples run
from 25 to $50 grains per gallon Prof. Latimer,
of Rochester, says, and thoroughly endorse his
statement. that mo single indication is of so
great sanitary importance in judging of the i'm
purity and consequently of the safety or danger
of any water as chlorine or common salt" A
any one that nearly all the salt used for domestic
purposes escape by way of two channels-the
water closet and the house drain" From one of
these two sources you must look for the large
amount of chlorine in the samples of Nov. 3D.
And considering that the volatile solids range
from to 20 grains per gallon, even tne .i least s
decomposition and for the support of germ life:
Three of the samples have greater amount OF
mineral matter than Parks places as a limit of a
safe water and the fourth sample approaches
very closely to Parks's limit, viz, ten grains per
gallon. The sulphuretted hydrogen present in
each one OF the samples may come from decom-
position of mineral sulphates which are present
or from de,omposing organic matter OF which
| sulphur is constituent. The State Board or

REPORT ON THE DRINKING WATERS
OF THE TOWNS AND VILLAGES
OF MARYLAND.
Paper No. 1---Well Waters of TOwsontOwn
and WOOdberry.

Typhoid fever, dysentery and diphtheria were
so largely prevalent during the past summer and
fall Q886) throughout the State that the execu-
tive committee of the State Board of Health re-
solved to institute careful investigation into
the causes of these diseases, and amongst other
methods used, to order Prof. VIM. z: Tonry, OF
Baltimore, to make analyses of the drinking wa
ters of the towns and villages throughout the
State.
The work of formulating these analyses and
drawing deductions therefrom fell to me, as
chairman of the committee on the sanitary con-
dition of the towns and villages Of the State. i
have therefore the honor of submitting to the
State Board of Health of Maryland the following
report ., tbe we,, waters Of rowsor
town were collected by me in the presence of
DR.. r. g. Massenburg, sanitary officer for Tow
sontown, and placed in new one-gallon demi-
johns, tightly corked, sealed and marked Nos. 1,
2, 8 and 4, to correspond with the pumps similar
ly marked; the location and surroundings OF
each pump carefully noted and the waters thus
selected sent to Prof. Tonry on the 9th day of
October, 1856.
The pumps selected were located in four wide
II separated sections Of the town and represent
unquestionably thoroughly fair average of the
condition OF all the wells in the town. Two OF
thewells were regarded as affording pure, whole
some water, and one of these in particular was
held in high repute for its supposed purity by
many in the neighborhood of its location.
Facing north az and d extending east and west is 81 an

surfsce soil is of a light clayey loan with a fair
admKture of sand and porous subsoll of finely
divided rotten rock. Fifteen to twenty feet be-
low all this is substratum Of gneiss-a rock
nearly as firm as granite. We have here condi-
tion (f things most favorable for retaining and

water was unmistakable. 1t is marked suspi-

positively bad. What was said above in refer
impurities is also true as to No. 5, but greater
amount of decomposition has taken place before
the impurities reached No. than was the case
with No. Z. The chlorine in both samples is
the amount of impurities coming from certain
sources, the ammonia determinations will show
the amount of decomposition that has Or is capa-
